I went to St. Olaf College, which was founded by Norwegian immigrants,
and every year they have a Christmas festival, with a fantastic music
program put on by the choirs and the orchestra, and
they serve a Norwegian dinner, both in the cafeteria and in the banquet
facilities, for parents and alumni, coming to the concert.  That was my
first exposure to lutefisk; I've only tasted it
once or twice.  Here in Minnesota, with its large Norwegian immigrant
population, you hear a lot of lutefisk jokes.

Do you also serve lefse at Christmas time?  You didn't mention it in
your menu.  Sort of a potato based tortilla, I understand, which they
served at the St. Olaf dinner Christmas dinner every
year, and I became quite fond of it.  We spread ours with butter,
sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar, and rolled it up and ate it that way.

I also remember something that was rather like a thin white pudding, and
I liked it too.  I remember it being called something like "flot grot." 
I'm sure that's misspelled.  What is it made
of?
